Economic Growth

Pulverizing our wild canyon foothills into a gravel pit is also an economic problem.

The #1 reason people move to live (and consequently work and invest) in Utah is our unique outdoor recreation resources

The #1 reason high-tech employees in the Point of the Mountain area (home to another huge gravel pit) leave Utah is poor air quality.

This gravel pit would therefore degrate Utah’s #1 economic asset (outdoor recreation) and exacerbate Utah’s #1 economic liability (air quality).
